I've won five bonuses in my nine fight UFC career.
In the UFC, you are only as good as your last fight. It's really a fight-by-fight type of career in the UFC.
To stay in the UFC while fighting top opponents... tell me one easy fight I had in the UFC. I have a history in the UFC.
Frank Mir is gonna be my toughest fight in my UFC career. It won't be easy.
I signed a contract to fight at UFC 187, so I'm going to fight at UFC 187, whoever it is against. It's the same thing.
After the Ronda fight, I wasn't sure what the UFC held for me. I think coming out of that fight, I didn't know if losing that fight meant that I could get cut because I knew the rumors at the time was how easily fighters could get cut from the UFC.
I don't want to fight in UFC just because I was a champion in UFC. I'm gonna have to earn it. It's gonna have to be how I fight.
You can say what you want about the Stephen Thompson fight, but you cannot disregard that me and Stephen went five rounds in a technical fight. Apparently, he's one of the best strikers in the UFC, Stephen Thompson.
Bellator offered me a job. UFC never offered me an opportunity to fight. There's no question that UFC is the top. It's a machine. A lot of people, including myself, have helped build the UFC to where it is today.
I took my first fight in the UFC on short notice. I took my first big fight against a top-five guy on ten days notice.
Anyone in the UFC, that should be your goal, to get the UFC belt and to fight for that title.
Yes," I said. "My name is seven-five-nine-nine-three-nine-ex-dash-one. Junior.
I've already overcome a lot of things in my career, and if I don't fight in the UFC anymore, for sure I'm gonna find other ways to keep growing my legacy.
Look at my track record for showing up to fights. Look at my track record of finishing fights. Look at my track record of getting fight night bonuses. Ask yourself if you think that if the UFC decided to truly put marketing dollars behind me that they couldn't sell me or my fights.
This is no ordinary nine to five day job and I have a 24/7 in terms of my boxing and my career as a professional sportsman.
I'm always training to fight the best fighters in the world, and if the UFC wants me to fight Georges St-Pierre, then I will fight him.
I feel like a fight is a season. When you're in the UFC, one fight is the equivalent of a whole football season, so when you lose a fight, the fans only remember you from your last fight, so it's very important to perform well, and to keep winning.
